From here we can assert some things:

- The problem is not really libqt5xcbqpa5 but whoever needs it. No, it's not 
Qt itself (read below).
- There is a known workaround and no data is lost, so severity should be kept 
at most as important.
- Normally people who disable recommends will get this problem, and also some 
cases in where

Right, but that "solution" actually created a circular dependency with 
libqt5gui5. And moreover Qt5 apps do not necessarily need this dependency, as 
they normally can work with other QPA plugins.

Apps who do really need X11 (kwin-x11 is a good example) should depend on this 
package.

I'm reassigning this bug to kwin-x11 for now. Maxy, feel free to reassign it 
as needed. Maybe some other KF5 lib is a better target.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.

Bug#809172: [libqt5xcbqpa5] lib libqt5xcbqpa5 will not be installed as a dependency

2015-12-27 Thread Singer Michael
Package: libqt5xcbqpa5
Version: 5.5.1+dfsg-10
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Dear Maintainer,
When you install the KDE desktop, the libqt5xcbqpa5 is not installed. A start 
of the KDE desktop thus aborts.

If you install the libqt5xcbqpa5 via apt after you can start the desktop 
again.

A similar bug report (closed), there was already in October 2015 strongly 
#802656.

Michael Singer
